Client server architecture

 Client server architecture

Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected.


Advantages of Client-Server Architecture:

Organizations often seek  opportunities to maintain services and quality competition to sustain its market position with the help of technologies. Deployment of client-server computing in an organization will effectively increase its productivity through the usage of  cost-effective user interface, enhanced data storage, vast connectivity and reliable application services
  • Improved Data Sharing: 
Data is retained by usual business processes and manipulated on a server is available for designated users (clients) over an authorized access.
  • Integration of Services: 
Every client is given the opportunity to access corporate information via desktop interface eliminating the necessity to log into a terminal mode or processor. 
  • Shared Resources Amongst Different Platforms: 
Application used for client-server model is built regardless of the hardware platform or technical background of the entitled software (operating system software) providing an open computing environment, enforcing users to obtain the services of clients and servers (database, application and communication services)
  • Data Processing Capability Despite the Location: 
Client-server users can directly log into a system despite of the location or technology of the processors.
  • Easy Maintenance: 
Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected. This unaware change is called as Encapsulation.
  • Security: 
Servers have better control access and resources to ensure that only authorized clients can access or manipulate data and server updates are administered effectively.


 1. Monolithic architecture

2.    Layerd archtecture.

3.     Virtual machine architecture

4.     Exokernel architecture

5.    Client server architecture 


6.     Micro kernel architecture

Disadvantages of Client-Server Architecture.
  • Overloaded Servers: 
When there are frequent simultaneous client requests, server severely get overloaded, forming traffic congestion.
  • Impact of Centralized Architecture: 
Since it is centralized, if a critical server failed, client requests are not accomplished. Therefore, client-server lacks the robustness of a good network.

Monolithic Architecture

  Monolithic Architecture Monolith means composed all in one piece. The  Monolithic  application describes a single-tiered  software  application in which different components combined into a single program from a single platform. Components can be: Authorization — responsible for authorizing a user Presentation — responsible for handling HTTP requests and responding with either HTML or JSON/XML (for web services APIs). Business logic — the application’s business logic. Database layer — data access objects responsible for accessing the database. Application integration — integration with other services (e.g. via messaging or REST API). Or integration with any other Data sources. Notification module — responsible for sending email notifications whenever needed. Example for Monolithic Approach Consider an example of Ecommerce application, that authorizes customer, takes an order, check products inventory, authorize payment and ships ordered products. This applicat...

What is RAM and Why is it Important?

  What is RAM and Why is it Important? Random access memory (RAM) is a computer's short-term memory. None of your programs, files, or Netflix streams would work without RAM, which is your computer’s working space. But what is RAM exactly? In this article, we explain what RAM means in computer terms and why it’s important. What does RAM stand for? RAM is short for “random access memory” and while it might sound mysterious, RAM is one of the most fundamental elements of computing. RAM is the super-fast and temporary data storage space that a computer needs to access right now or in the next few moments. What is RAM and Why is it Important?

Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ)

  Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ) ·          Multilevel feedback queue scheduling is an enhancement of multi-levelqueue scheduling. In this scheme, processes can move between the different queue ·          The various processes are separates in different queue on the basis of their CPU Burst Char characteristics ·          If a process consumes a lot of CPU time , it is placed into a lower priority queue. Thus I/O bound and interactive process are placed in the higher priority queue and CPU bound pricesses are in lower priority ·          If a processes waits too long in a lower priority queue it is moved higher priority queue. Such an aging prevents starvation. ·          The top priority queue is given smallest CPU time Quantum ·      ...
